11/28/2010 - ::Extra Goodies:: - On This Day in Rock History .. Rick Allen of Def Leppard

I think any music fan is familiar with the jest of the story of Rick Allen, drummer of Def Leppard. 

I learned many new tidbits while watching a BBC documentary the other night and a few other goodies I found on the grand ole YouTube.  I didn't realize that Rick Allen was only 15 years old when he joined Def Leppard.  That ... by the way ... was on this date in 1978.

11/04/2010 - A Great Vintage T.V. Theme Song!

I had a friend ask me last night what the Ocho-rific Song o the Day was going to be today. 

I hadn't selected it yet and told him that .. and he inquired about how I choose the songs and where I have them all, if there's some magical sheet that I look at.

11//01/2010 - Ride Like The Wind - Cristopher Cross - 1980



today's
Ocho-rific
Song o the Day...
Ride Like the Wind
Christopher Cross - 1980

You'll notice Christopher Cross welcomes legend Michael McDonald to the stage at the beginning of the video.  Michael McDonald sang background on this tune .. I see quite a big Michael McDonald explosion in our future, my dear friends ... because I'd forgotten just exactly how much I like Michael McDonald's odd little voice.

10/24/2010 - New York Groove - Ace Frehley

Last Saturday I spent some time in my laundry room, which consists of a 3'x6' closet, fluffing and folding ... one of my least favorite things to do.  I absolutely detest laundry with every ounce of my being.  I also detest KISS.

10/23/10 - Tarzan Boy Feedback and TODAY'S Ocho-rific Song o the Day!


I visited a friend on Wednesday night who hadn't yet seen Wednesday's blog.  This particular friend is not a big fan of "new music" ... and by "new music"; I mean anything released by anyone who was not recording music in the 70s. :)

10/15/2010 - Eastbound and Down - Jerry Reed - 1977

Good morning ... and again, sorry for the hiatus.   
As I've said before, sometimes life gets in the way.    I'd like nothing more (well, not maybe NOTHING more), but I would really like for this to be a daily event ... but when the day is full and something has to go; this is one of the first things to get tossed.

09/29/2010 - ::Extra Goodies:: - Everyman's Journey



::Extra Goodies::


Anyone who knows me in real life knows that I am a big, big, big fan of Journey.  I am very touchy about the fact that I've never seen Journey with Steve Perry and never will.  Though I love Steve Perry dearly, I'm pretty frustrated with him for rattling our chains in the mid 90s, only to require a hip replacement and never return.
